"And of course, an incalculable contribution was made by drummer Zak Starkey, [unnecessary pedigree edited-kv], who amazed once again with his sure-handed (and footed) evocation of Moon's inimitable bashing style." - Chuch Darrow, Courier-Post 2006-09-12

" 'Relay,' from Townshend's aborted "Lifehouse" project, features cutting, thrashing drumming from Zak Starkey, who was tutored by none other than Keith Moon, the Who's late, lamented maniacal genius. Steadier than Moon and flashier than Kenny Jones -The Who's second drummer, [unnecessary pedigree edited-kv] plays detonating, levitating fills on everything from "Who Are You" to "Substitute." - Geoff Gehman, The Morning Call 2006-9-13

"On both the new and the classic, drummer Zak Starkey was the not-so-secret weapon. With Starkey [unnecessary pedigree edited-kv], the group has finally adequately filled the void left by the death of Keith Moon in 1979. Starkey's playing was an exemplary mix of Moon's freneticism mixed with rhythmic solidity. On "Anyway Anyhow Anywhere" he equaled Moon's bombast; on "Who Are You" he easily topped Moon's recorded performance ... - Rick Massimo - Providence Journal 2006-09-17

"Never mind the group's advanced age vis-a-vis the rest of the V-Fest field; the Who sounded more vital than any of the bands that played before them, tearing through their rich catalogue with abandon ... No wonder so many of the festival's other performers watched the set from stage left, mouths agape."

" 'We're proud to play on the same stage as the Who,' said Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea. As the V-Fest co-headliners, the Peppers had a tough act to follow. And while they're among the best big-festival bands in America, they couldn't quite measure up to the Who -- in part because of the erratic pacing of their freewheeling set, which was heavier on slower psychedelic and blues-based material than it was on the group's signature up-tempo funk-punk." - J. Freedom du Lac - Washington Post 2006-09-24
